Understanding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving psychiatrists, psychologists, and behavioral therapists to provide comprehensive assessment and treatment.

Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Behavioral Assessments: Standardized rating scales for symptoms.

- QEEG Brain Mapping: Quantitative EEG to assess brain activity patterns.
- Comprehensive Interviews: With patients and family members.

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve behavioral therapy, medications, educational interventions, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support brain function and calm the mind.
- Stimulant Medications: Methylphenidate and amphetamines.
- Behavioral Therapy: Cognitive-behavioral and parent training.
